build-and-upload script from ruby-team/meta can help if we have enabled tests. If we used that, then is-descriptor 1.0 -> 2.0 update would notify the failure before upload. But its likely we added is-descriptor 2.0 directly. The best choice is upstream updating their dependency. Second choice is we update and send merge request. As a worse case, we can downgrade node-is-descriptor to 1.0 if we have no other reverse dependency or embed 1.0 in node-define-property. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
